Shots fired at Schaumburg police

3 arrested

Schaumburg police arrested three suspected robbers after officers interrupted a home invasion and two shots were fired at one of the responding officers, a spokesman said.

One of the two residents of the home in the 1000 block of Stonehedge Drive received minor injuries in the robbery and was treated by Schaumburg paramedics, but officers were uninjured, police said.

Police were called to the home at 6:50 p.m. and when two officers came up to the house, they were refused entrance, according to a Schaumburg Police press release.

The officers "heard a commotion" inside the home, according to release. One of the officers walked around to the back of house and came upon a suspect, who turned and fired two shots from a gun at the officer, then fled on foot. Police did not return fire, the spokesman said.

The officer, who was uninjured, chased the suspect on foot.

Within a few blocks of the home, police were able to capture three suspects, police said. They were being questioned this evening.
